SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash – Spokane Valley voters are so far saying yes to two school levies that would support the West Valley School District.
The first levy covers educational programs and operations. Currently, property owners pay $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed value — the maximum amount allowed under state law. If voters approve the replacement levy, that rate would remain unchanged.
WEST VALLEY SCHOOL DIST PROPOSITION NO. 1 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS LEVY
The second levy funds capital projects, including building updates and school safety improvements. This levy also would stay at $1 per $1,000 of assessed value.
WEST VALLEY SCHOOL DIST PROPOSITION NO. 2 SAFETY, SECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY
Planned capital improvements funded by the levy include security system upgrades at all schools and a library addition at Pasadena Park Elementary.
For a homeowner with a $400,000 house, the two levies combined cost $1,400 annually. If approved, the renewed taxes would take effect in 2028.
